Climatopolis Revisited

Perhaps thanks to Andy’s nudge, some of the themes of my ClimatopolisÂ book are now being discussed in Business Week and Harvard Business Review’s Blog just posted my piece here. Â I was disappointed when my 2010 book focused on free market solutions to climate change adaptation made everyone nuts but the big themes of the book are holding up strong. Â Will well meaning national government help to build more robust and resilient coastal cities? Â Or does moral hazard lurk? Â In a world where the climate is changing, how do we incentivize people to make “better” choices for themselves and for society? Â Having more “skin in the game” would be one nudge but there are certainly others that need to be discovered and implemented.
